Daily Devo | You Are Not Your Job (David - Day 12, 2 Samuel 6:13-16,20-22)

There is a constant temptation to define ourselves in terms of our work. It's one of the first questions we ask of others, "What do you do for work?" In this scene of worship, David strips off all the vestments of his "job". Before the Lord, the king himself is just a worshiper like everyone else. You are not your job. In the Lord, your identity and worth has a far greater foundation!

For Reflection:

People worship in many ways. Our entire lives are meant to be lived as an act of worship (cf. Romans 12:1, Colossians 3:17).

- How do you experience worship? When do you find yourself best able to focus on God and begin to lose sight of yourself, as David does in music and dance?

- Just as David is able to forget about himself in worship, the presence of God also reminds him and us of who we truly are. Who and what are the people, places, and practices that help you remember who you truly are in Christ?
